Chapter 754

~6 min read 1,012 words

The stone hanging in his throat has finally fallen!

He Wenjie takes the money and goes out to buy wine and cooked meat.

Xu Damao pours and offers drinks with great enthusiasm.

He Wenjie, with her sweet mouth, keeps saying nice things.

Xu Rui sits obediently to the side, burying her head in her food.

Watching this scene, Cao Weiguo can't help but sigh at the impermanence of the world.

After eating and drinking his fill, Cao Weiguo returns home reeking of alcohol.

The next day, Xu Damao returns to the steel rolling plant, beaming with joy.

He makes a big show of handing out wedding candies and invitations.

Fellow workers and colleagues smile, tease, and offer congratulations.

The neighbors in the Sihe Academy are dumbfounded.

Yi Zhonghai's old face is as black as coal.

Xu Damao's illicit affair has turned into a blessing in disguise.

Yi Zhonghai's secret reporting is disgusting.

Although no one says anything to Yi Zhonghai's face.

There isn't a single good word said about him behind his back.

Even some of his apprentices are deliberately distancing themselves from Yi Zhonghai.

It is estimated that few people like someone who stabs them in the back.

"Brother Weiguo!"

Xu Damao carries the wedding candies to the staff canteen.

He finds Cao Weiguo, his face full of joy:

"I'm planning to hold the wedding banquet this weekend."

"I'd like to ask you to help organize it."

Cao Weiguo eats a piece of wedding candy and smiles:

"This is a happy occasion!"

"Of course, no problem."

"How do you plan to do it?"

Xu Damao says with a smile: "I'm planning to set up ten tables, with each table at a standard of five yuan."

Cao Weiguo smiles and gives a thumbs up: "Brother Damao, you're generous."

Liu Lan comes over, all smiles: "Xu Damao! Do you want me to go help out too?"

Xu Damao laughs: "That would be great! You are most welcome!"

After chatting about the banquet in the canteen, Xu Damao starts handing out invitations everywhere.

Although it's his second marriage, the commotion is even bigger than the first.

Xu Damao's parents return to the Sihe Academy once again.

Although He Wenjie has already registered her marriage with Xu Damao.

Xu Fu and Xu Mu don't give He Wenjie a single good look.

Facing this situation, He Wenjie was mentally prepared long ago.

She serves them carefully with her head bowed.

Xu Rui obediently calls them Grandpa and Grandma.

Xu Fu and Xu Mu are indifferent.

In the evening, after Xu Damao returns, there is an expected scene of chaos.

Although Xu Fu and Xu Mu are unhappy, they cannot overcome their son, Xu Damao.

Plus, Xu Damao privately explains the pros and cons to them.

Xu Fu and Xu Mu have no choice but to hold their noses and accept He Wenjie as their daughter-in-law.

What else could they do?

Really let their son go to jail and eat black cornmeal buns?

Next is the preparation for the wedding banquet.

Xu Damao has no money in his pocket and has to make Xu Fu and Xu Mu bleed.

Cao Weiguo is also called to the Xu house.

They sit together to discuss the menu.

Xu Fu and Xu Mu's attitude toward Cao Weiguo is quite warm.

After all, Cao Weiguo is not only a cadre in the factory.

Xu Damao's successful reinstatement is also largely thanks to Cao Weiguo's help.

After a heated discussion, Xu Damao decides on eight cold dishes and eight hot dishes.

Generally, the number of dishes for wedding customs is an even number, and usually, eight dishes symbolize prosperity.

Ten dishes symbolize perfection, and twelve dishes symbolize happiness every month.

Moreover, the dates for holding weddings are usually chosen on the eighth, eighteenth, or twenty-eighth of the lunar double months.

This implies the auspicious meaning of "wanting to get rich, don't leave eight," "eight plus eight," and "getting rich again and again."

"Cold dishes: peanuts in old vinegar, cold shredded wood ear mushrooms, cold bean sprouts, crystal pork skin jelly..."

"Hot dishes: sour and spicy shredded potatoes, dry-fried green beans, stewed chicken with mushrooms, moo shu pork, braised fish..."

After Xu Damao finishes this list, Xu Fu and Xu Mu's hearts are dripping blood.

According to this banquet, one table will cost at least five or six yuan.

Plus the cost of drinks, the chef, and the kitchen help.

The money spent on this wedding banquet will not be small.

It's not that they can't afford this money.

But in this day and age, thrift is valued, and no one's money comes from a strong wind.

But Xu Damao gives a long speech and even brings up the factory leaders.

"This wedding banquet is crucial for me."

"It's not just about clearing my name, it also concerns my reputation in the factory."

"And I've invited the factory leaders, so the banquet must not be poor."

In the end, Xu Fu and Xu Mu nod with tears in their eyes.

Who told them they only have this one son!

Just accept it!

Upon learning that Xu Damao is holding a wedding banquet.

Yan Fugui runs over actively.

He recommends himself for the job of keeping the accounts.

As long as he puts in the effort, Xu Damao will surely show his appreciation.

Upon hearing this, Shazhu feels completely uncomfortable.

He paces back and forth in his room, feeling stifled.

Like an ant on a hot pan.

Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng are both about to marry their second wives.

And he is still a bachelor.

He hasn't even tasted the flavor of a woman.

Thinking about it this way, how can he be happy?

"No!"

"I want to marry a wife too!"

Unable to sit still, Shazhu runs to the Yi house with a red face.

He tells Yi Zhonghai about his desire to marry a wife.

He begs Yi Zhonghai to help introduce someone.

Yi Zhonghai says kindly: "I'll introduce Liu Yuhua from the seventh workshop to you." ===== CHAPTER 756 =====
